Stingless bee honey, which has a uniquely sweet and sour taste, is reportedly adulterated with vinegar. Read more at straitstimes.com.

      Apparently its a huge market. You can buy artificial sugar syrup from China that mimics real honey sugars and just dilute your honey with that. In the EU at least the standard honey quality test doesn’t detect it so no one knows how much diluted honey there is.

      Does not seem too complicated.

        I don’t really eat or like honey, so i wonder what the difference is like. Because ut really seems pretty easy to leave bees alone.
